From this sanctuary, you can behold breathtaking views of Deo Tibba, Chota Shali, Bandar Poonch, Rakta Dhar, Badrinath and Pir Panjal – some of the most majestic Himalayan Mountains. The reserve is connected to the Chail Sanctuary in the south through a forest corridor.

This wildlife refuge is populated by vivid flora and fauna. The Himalayan deodar, pine, oak, rhododendron, horse chestnut and maple are most widely found trees.

With nine perennial streams, including Churat Nala and God Ki Nala flowing through this area, this catchment is a major water supply for Shimla. Chharabra, a small village in the confines of the sanctuary, serves as a summer retreat to the President of India and as summer residence to the Governor of Punjab. Owing to security reasons, tourists must seek prior permission to visit this place.

The sanctuary not only attracts people with its rich wildlife and vegetation, but also offers adventurous activities like trekking and mountaineering. The Reserve Forest Sanctuary is considered perfect for all – nature lovers, peace seekers, wildlife enthusiasts and adventurers. Do pay a visit!

Jubbal Palace

Lovers of history and architecture will love to visit the beautiful Jubbal Palace. It nestles approximately 7000 feet above the sea level, amidst rolling hills that are covered with dense forests of pine and cedar.

Located favourably on Raj Bhawan Road, this heritage site is just 5.8 km away from the heart of the city and is easily accessible. The presence of terraced gardens and deliberately trimmed Virginia vines within the complex greatly accentuates the exquisiteness of the palace.

Raja Rana Sir Bhagat Chandra demolished the original Victorian structure in 1938. Later, on the same site a summer palace was built in a unique blend of Indian and Chinese architecture styles. The exteriors flaunt exquisite features like an elaborate citadel and walls with convoluted artistry. In the interiors, visitors will find intricately carved structures of timber, suspended attics and signed photographs and paintings of eminent people.

The royal family of Jubbal lived here until 1977 when Raj Kumar Uday Singh – Raja Rana Sir Bhagat Chandra's grandson, converted a part of this palace into a heritage hotel. The hotel, named as Woodville Palace Hotel, is known to offer royal suites with luxury amenities.

shimla Packages - Traveller Reviews

Me and my family had made our first trip with Make My Trip. I would say it was one of the most memorable and enjoyable trip.

I would want to thank the trip leader Sandeep for his commitment to make sure everything went well.

As a feedback i have few things that i would want to inform.

Positives:1. Sandeep is extremely energetic and that keeps all going even during a travel intensive trip like this. 2. We were greeted on time at Delhi airport on time and at every junction of travel we were well informed about our schedules. 3. Sandeep made sure that all our accommodations are comfortable. Even though there were challenges faced by Sandeep in Manali due to the mismanagement by the hotel, sandeep made sure that things went smooth for all tourists. 4. We were informed by sandeep on all do's and donts. Also being a tour guide his involvement in various activities and availability makes lot of difference and that helped. 5. There were regular stoppages and sandeep made sure that all of us are made comfortable.6. All locations where we stopped for lunch were as per Make My Trip guidelines and we had no issues.

Areas of improvement:

Need to provide more inputs feedback about the locations that we are visiting during briefing sessions and while traveling to the destinations. Some knowledge of the geography and history of the destination would help the tourist to connect better. Though there were enough information on approaching, i would suggest it to be more proactive.

Overall Sandeeps' involvement in the trip and his role is highly commendable and much appreciated.

I look forward for another trip with Make My Trip if possible with sandeep as the guide.

I had a good trip. Thanks for all the help and support during my stay. In case I can give you an E-card or so to appreciate you on Make My Trip.

JJ resort was the best stay amongst the 3. Food was very good in all. Also, behavior of staff was good in all 3. Also, the view was pretty good. However, I liked JJ resort the most as everything was just perfect.

Shimla was established in the year 1817 as the British Summer Capital. The hill station was favoured by the British due to its cooler climate to the humid plains of India. The Victorian structures, glorious Georgian houses and churches which are scattered all over the town are the symbols of the British era. In 1930, the Kalka- Shimla railway link was inaugurated and that quaint train still connects Kalka to Shimla.
